ArtStation requires sellers to label marketplace products made with AI using a 'CreatedWithAI' tag, and gives all users the ability to filter AI-generated artwork out of their browsing experience across the homepage, search, and marketplace.
Details
Rolled out in January 2023 and updated through February 2023, ArtStation added filtering controls that let users hide AI-generated projects from homepage galleries, search results, and marketplace listings. Sellers are required by the Terms of Service to apply a 'CreatedWithAI' product tag to any digital goods created using generative AI programs. These measures were introduced in response to community pressure after AI-generated images began appearing prominently in trending feeds.
